I need help. It is 2:29 am in the morning. My 4.5 month olf bull mastiff mix is snake bit. Can't get the vet to call back on his page.
What can I do? She weighs approx 50 lbs and was bit on the lip. She is swollen LARGE on her muzzle and under her neck has a knot the size of at least a softball. Her sweet little head is huge...
We have given her 25 mg of benedral for swelling/allergic reaction and washed it with peroxide. I read to do that online. WE HAVE HER CRATED IN THE HOUSE.
What else can I do till I can get her to the vet in order to save her life?????? I GAVE HER THE benedryl 10 minutes ago and she is sound asleep right now. My husband went to bed at 9 and so it happened sometime between 9-1:30.. I hope she lives to see the morning. She is foaming at the mouth.
IT WILL BE EITHER RATTLESNAKE, COPPERHEAD OR COTTONMOUTH...... But I feel it is more likely to be a rattlesnake. I have copperheads around here in abundance but have never seen one. I have killed several rattlers. I searched the yard by flashlight to try and find the damn thing to string it up but no snake was to be seen. I hope the other dogs injured it enough that it went off to die.
